Both PlayStation and Facebook Gaming/Oculus have announced they won’t be attending this year’s Game Developers Conference due to concerns surrounding coronavirus. This is the second major gaming event Sony has pulled out of, as they announced yesterday they won’t be attending PAX East as previously planned. Here’s what Sony had to say about their decision to no-show GDC.

We have made the difficult decision to cancel our participation in Game Developers Conference due to increasing concerns related to COVID-19 (also known as coronavirus). We felt this was the best option as the situation related to the virus and global travel restrictions are changing daily. We are disappointed to cancel our participation, but the health and safety of our global workforce is our highest concern. We look forward to participating in GDC in the future.
